Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for merchandise display prongs intended for displaying merchandise in shops and the like and comprising a cantilever arm for carrying the merchandise and a feed device which is displaceable along the arm and provided with a grip part and which is intended, when acted on manually, to displace the merchandise carried by the arm in the forward direction toward its free end for the purpose of bringing about a favorable display of the merchandise.
  • One object of the present invention is to produce a manual feed device for merchandise on a merchandise prong in the form of a cantilever arm, which device inter alia eliminates the abovementioned disadvantages of previously known arrangements of this type.
  • the invention is based on the realization that this object can be achieved if the feed device is provided with a grip part which, in the rest position, that is to say when no feeding operation is being performed, does not project from the prong in any direction, but which, for feeding, is simple to take hold of.
  • the cantilever arm is in the form of a profiled rail with a groove extending on the underside, that the feed device is guided by the profiled rail and is made with an elongate maneuvering arm, that the maneuvering arm runs in a protected manner in the groove in the profiled rail, and that a guide element for the maneuvering arm is arranged at the front end of the profiled rail.
  • An arrangement of this type achieves inter alia the abovementioned object of, in the rest position, not constituting an obstruction for merchandise on the prong or on adjacent prongs and thus does not limit how closely the prongs can be positioned.
  • the guide element is made with a guide groove or a through opening for guiding the maneuvering arm.
  • the maneuvering arm is suitably made in such a way that its outer end is located in a protected manner under the outer end of the profiled rail when the feed device is located in a pushed-in rest position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a merchandise display prong with a feed device according to the invention in rest position.
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section through the merchandise prong according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section through the merchandise prong according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 shows the merchandise prong according to FIG. 1 with the feed device in the pulled-out position.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate the mounting of interchangeable feed plates on a slide running on the prong according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a merchandise display prong.
  • FIG. 8 shows the prong in FIG. 7 with the feed device in partly pulled-out position.
  • FIGS. 9-17 show components forming part of the arrangement according to FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a merchandise display prong comprising a circular cylindrical profiled rail 1 made of aluminum with an inner, downwardly open groove 2 (see also FIGS. 2 and 3 ).
  • the rear end portion of the prong is connected to a mounting element 3 for mounting on a supporting structure.
  • a slide 4 which surrounds the rail and has a part 5 on which a feed plate 6 intended to make contact with the merchandise on the rail is mounted, runs on the profiled rail 1 .
  • the slide 4 is maneuvered by means of a maneuvering arm 7 with an outer grip part 8 , which arm runs in the groove 2 in the rail 1 .
  • both the arm 7 and the grip part 8 are located in a concealed, protected position in the groove 2 of the profiled rail 1 . This means that they do not hinder the removal of merchandise from or the arrangement of merchandise on the prong or prongs located above or below it.
  • the risk of the maneuvering arm 7 catching on people passing by is also eliminated.
  • the maneuvering arm and the grip part take up no extra space as the maneuvering arm runs inside the profiled rail 1 .
  • a guide element 9 Arranged at the outer end of the rail 1 is a guide element 9 which, in this embodiment, is made with a through opening for passage and guidance of the elongate maneuvering arm 7 .
  • the grip part 8 of the arm 7 suitably has a corresponding angle, while the guide 9 can have an essentially horizontal hole, which means that the grip part 8 can be arranged in an easily accessible manner.
  • FIG. 5 shows the slide 4 , which runs on the profiled rail 1 , with a mounting part 5 and a feed plate 6 mounted thereon.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates how the feed plate 6 can be separated from the mounting part 5 and exchanged for another plate, provided that this has the same U-shaped attachment means 10 for mounting on the part 5 . In this way, use can be made of feed plates 6 with size and shape adapted to the products to be displayed on the prong.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a second embodiment of a merchandise prong according to the invention with a profiled rail 11 made of aluminum with a plane upper surface.
  • the profiled rail 11 has an essentially plane web portion 12 and, projecting downward along the edges of this, two flanges 13 , 14 which are angled in toward one another so as to form between themselves and the web portion 12 a guide groove 27 , for a feed device according to FIG. 12 .
  • This comprises a slide 13 which fits in the groove and a feed plate 14 projecting downward from this.
  • the plate 14 is provided with an opening 15 , through which a maneuvering arm 16 with a front grip part can pass (see FIG. 13 ).
  • a guide for the maneuvering arm 16 in the form of a rounded end portion 18 with a guide groove 19 adapted to the maneuvering arm (see FIGS. 10 and 11 ).
  • the guide groove 19 is made in such a way that it holds the maneuvering arm in place both in the rest position and when it moves.
  • the profiled rail 11 is attached to a mounting device in the form of a slide 20 with an attachment means 21 which fits in the groove 27 in the profiled rail (see FIG. 14 ).
  • a plug 24 according to FIGS. 16 and 17 is guided down into the opening 25 in the slide 20 for engagement in the hole 26 in the rear portion of the profiled rail 11 .
  • the slide 20 can be displaced in the vertical direction on an adjustment bar 22 with recesses 23 for different adjustment positions (see FIG. 15 ).
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 which show the feed device 14 in different positions, the profiled rail 11 has been shown in different vertical positions.
  • a maneuvering tongue 28 the engagement between an engagement means (not shown) and the recesses 23 in the bar 22 can be released during adjustment of the vertical position of the slide 20 .
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 also has the abovementioned advantages of an easily maneuverable feed device, which is maneuvered by means of a manually operable maneuvering arm with a grip part, which, in the rest position, is located in a completely concealed, protected manner in the profiled rail.
